Great finds and story! I love the excitement you generated when you found the coin! Good for You......I also love and collect books.......I will look for the names you mentioned and Muddyhands......if you guys would post in the Wanted Ads of this forum or PM me, a list of the authors or titles you are interested in, I travel extensively to auctions and estate sales and can be on the look out for them....

I go a great distance,while some are considering whether they will start today or tomorrow

Hi ya,, Bookfisher,,, I thought everyone had seen my post about the cache but, you only having 59 post, it was probabaly made before you got here... Here a link to my Cache Page:Leon's Cache Find...
The story and the dates for the coins are all listed there...
It was a once in a lifetime find for me and I think it would be very hard for me to top...
Again,, that is an awesome find, I can only hope to find something like that someday...
Good luck, & Happy hunting~

Hey Leon,

Now, I do remember reading your post. That really was one cool find. I used to dig antique bottles, and you would come across those old milk glass cold creme jars, but none I found ever had any coins in it. Terrific find and one you'll always remember.

wow thats all i got,,,,,,,,,, i just c ant imagine getting that myself.... plus the other bonus coins.. now thats a day that will be very hard to top......... i run a mxt also that gives me hope,,,,,,,, with all the shotgun shells i would have figured a musket ball but still all i got is wow,,,,, wtg and may you find another... green 1 mass.

Wow - Amazing find and story! I'm so jealous!!!! I agree with the poster earlier, check out to see what was going on in that area back in the day. And I'd definitely go back there again before they start building houses.

Man, A Gold Coin, Awesome - good for yoU!!! I've been detecting for over a year and have yet to find even a silver - you're story inspires me to keep on looking though!
